"Those who are trumpeting the case for a Uniform Civil Code are doing it more with the intention of diverting the people's attention from the really pressing problems because they have no clue about how to solve the latter" I hope you aren't saying that a UCC is a bad thing.I honestly have a problem seeing the reasoning in this. Just how could it be bad that everyone is treated equally? Maybe you don't like the BJP implementing it because you obviously have a problem with them, but how about if another party was in the process of making it law ? Frankly, I think India is better off with the BJP than the Congress but that's another discussion... As for "achieve all-round progress before you move forward in the realm of civil laws", I think it would be a useful to have a framework in place i.e the UCC and then build around it. Would you agree? Monish

> civil laws. It's not as easy as -- "Let's do this and the country > will become united". > As to who decides what the problems are and which ones to tackle > first, the people and their representatives should be well aware of > them. If not, start a nationwide debate about that. The UCC is not the panacea for all our ills nor is it going to unite the country. The UCC has nothing to do with uniting a country. It has everything to do with offering a legal recourse .... a weapon to fight oudated actually, atavistic rules of social order. BTW if the UCC is perceieved as anti-muslim many should realize that Hindus are governed by what is called the Hindu Marriage Act. That too goes out the window. As far as the really pressing problems are concerned you can run but can never hide. Where ever you go you will always see it. Does anyone have a link to the texts of the UCC. I remember seeing it somewhere.
